scIo Temperance Notes.

There is luli in our work for the
present, owing to the pressure of har-
vesting and the activity in railroad
work on the Oregon Pacific, but still
we are not lifeless by any means.
The Prohibition League met last
Saturday evening and listened to n
good speech by Capt. Humphrey of
Albany, which was well received. The
same evening Miss Doughty of the
Oregon Normal School presented
claim in favor of higher education for
our young people. Temperance and
education naturally go hand in hand.
Mr.. Geo. l.. Sutherland teacher
here, speaks in the vicinity around
Scio whenever possible, in favor of the
amendment and is doing effective work
for God, Home and Native Land. One
week ago he lectured at the Jordan
valley school house to a large audience.
Would we had more laboreIs like him.
Col. Woodford did not come, but we
fortunately heard in time not to be
greatly disappointed. We are often
left out in the cold so should be aceus-
toned to it.
Our w. G. T. L. is saddened by the
death of one of our honorary members,
II. Pentland, and an earnest temper
ance worker. Appropriate resolutions
were passed at our last meeting, which
will appear in the EMPRESS next week.

Our Prohibition Laae,ia.

On last Friday evening IA few persons
might have been seen vending their
way towards the Presbyterian church,
foremost among them one of the vice
presidents of the League. He as
cen I'd the steps and entered the
building. Shortly afterwards he re-
appeared, scanned the streets in every
direction, then slowly retraced his way
homewari. Scarcely had he departed
when a member of the w. G.. L. L.
was seen approaching with hurried
footsteps, immediately followed by a
young gentleman who lends his nu-
steal tenor voice to help the cause of
temperance. He drove rapidly as If he
feared he might miss the best of the
program. Next came Il bevy of young
ladies 50 absorbed in conversation that
they did not observe the deserted APP
pearance of the church until they
paused at the very entrance. Lo,
darkness there and nothing more.
And this was the extent of the interest
manifested i'm the last meeting If the
Prohibition League. oh, that some
power might rouse the people of Leb-
amor from the lethargic state into
which they seem to have fallen. Now
is the golden opportunity. This is the
decisive moment. The saloon power
is fully organized; If we ffil in organ
ization defeat is certain.
Every effort will be made in Port
land and the larger cities where the
enemy is SO strongly cntrenched, and
large vote will there be cast against
prohibition.
Our only hope of success lies in oh
tanning the vote OF the smaller towns
and the rural population. To do this,
will require work, and Lebanon must
do her part. Every respectable man,
woman and child has duty to per-
form. Mothers of Lebanon, must you
wait until your boy becomes victim
before you put forth hand TO help i'm
this work? God grant you may not
Ministers of Lebanon, do not think
because you preach the gospel of peace
You are exempt from this work. In
every time of the nations need, the
church has released the pastor from
pastoral duties, that he might the
more actively work for his country
What more dangerous foe has ever
struck blow at the heart of our ma
ton than the saloon? Fighting it,
you are fighting for your life. This
is the great moral conflict of the ages.
God help US to he true.

Friday evening, July 22nd, was q
quiet, enjoyable affair. Twenty-Five
numbers were sold. The dancers all
took an active part, which made the
hours pass away unnoticed. AT twelve
o'clock fine supper was served, which
assured the happy crowd they could
stand it till morning, and at break of
day as everybody was beginning to
feel the effects of what good time
mey had all had, began to disperse to
their several homes, realizing that they
had got double the worth of their
money and would not hesitate to in
vest sl.50 on another such occasion.

We, the undersigned, would respect
fully call attention to the fact that we
have leased the Warehouses on the
Narrow Guage railroad, for the coming
season, and think that II will he to the
interest of every farmer to call and see
us, or our agents at the different ware
houses, before making other arrange
ments for storing their wheat, oats and
barley, which we will be prepared To
receive and pay the highest cash price
for. Sacks furnished for storing grain,
in the usual manner REMEMBER
THIS: Mr.. G. y. Scott, receiver of the
Narrow Guage railroad, has guaran-
teed rates from the different ware
houses to the Oregon Pacific Junction,
also to Rays Landing, which will
bring our grain to the river, giving us
the advantage of competing lines, be-
sides having the usual through rates
To Portland.

From all over tie Northwest comes
the cheering news of good crops In

We're never better, and with the prom
Use of good pnecs for all kinds of farm
produce, we may look forward to more
prosperous times this fall than for
years in the PAST. The Willamette
valley will be especially favored in
this respect, rs large acreage of grain
will be harvested. Up to this time in
Linn county, most of the fall grain has
been cnt, and next week threshing
will set in, and soon the result of the
hushandman's labors will be safely
garnered. Judging from the price of
wheat now, il would be safe TO esti-
mate this years crop at SI.o0 per bush
el, which vouchsafes to the farmer an
era of prosperity not witnessed for n
number of years.

Brownsville w. Q. T. U. Notes.
Our Union is quietly but surely doing
much good, especially in encouraging
the mothers and arousing them to the
dangers which beset their children. i
send a few extracts from the White
Bibbon scrap book:
Do the work of moral suasion, lift
men up from the gutter, and then de-
pend upon it, there will be no man
more earnest than you in an effort to
make the streets safe for the men
whom you have rescued. No man who
has christian heart, who has wept
and prayed over the victim of intem-
perance and has succeeded in elevating
him into the image of his God, no man
trembles more than that man when he
sends him forth to his daily work to
run the gauntlet of the legalized grog
shops that lie in his path. No matter
what that mans theory may have been
when he started, he comes back from
the work of beuevolence indignant Mt
the civilization, which allows the weak
TO be tempted back to destruction. Let
every man follow moral suasion TO the
end, not with mouth and word only,
but with heart and hand, and will
risk his feelings upon this subject of
legal suasion.--Juolye Pimdn.
